Hi, Without offering factual evidence, (only my experience as living in Sax for well over 20yrs), I don´t think that this town has "high levels of crime" compared with other areas, inland or nearer the coast. "Crime" covers many aspects, from burglary, violence, drug usage etc. In this day & age, with access to motorways & travel, most (both large & small) towns can be visited in a 30-40 minute drive.
With regards "a few travelling people causing issues locally?", Sax is quite small compared to other towns nearby. Sax has almost full employment and subsequently being a small working town, where almost everyone knows each other and Spanish familes & neighbours with a good community spirit.
Hope helps.
